Has been getting good writeups from draft analysts, some saying he might be the best OT candidate in the draft, even more so than Alt. He's big, mobile, a punishing run blocker. Some think he should play at RT or RG if moved inside. Physically and psychologically, he is like Wright, he's big, tough, and aggressive. Latham, a few weeks ago, said he would welcome the opportunity to play at LT. He's a Poles type of guy in many ways:

I do think Latham is going to go higher than expected. Probably top 12.

Josh Lucas, Pace's former personnel guy on the Bears, is on the Hoge & Jahns podcast regularly. He has Latham as a Top 10 prospect (Byron Murphy II also) .... he's Top 10 is interesting: no Rome (@ 11), AD Mitchell in his top ten.

Latham at RT, Wright at RG? Davis had 29 QB pressures last season.
